    bomb postworkout meal

    Looks good. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you're not a hardgainer. cumminslifter, that's an awfully high ratio of carb:protein in that there meal.

    LeanGains - Extreme Difference in Cals on Build/Burn Days

    You are on point here... not with your suspicions, but with the fact that you started the sentence with the word "Personally". It's just not going to be possible to prescribe a general recommendation that's as specific as what's being described here—once you get to that kind of resolution, it's...

    Amount of carbs

    Ah, I see. The competitive swimming, so that explains why your stated goal is 8 percent, and not, say, 4 or 5 percent. Makes sense. One correction btw, that's 100 grams OF CARBS post-workout from rice/lentils/etc. That's about 290 grams of cooked rice, not sure about the other foods off the...

    do you count veggies as apart of your carb intake?

    There's no straight answer to this, because it depends on the purpose of the counting. Basically, if the goal is to stay under some extremely low carb threshold—if you're trying to put together a ketogenic diet, for instance—then, yes, you absolutely must take vegetables into account. Too...

    ADRENAL EXHAUSTION?

    Thanks, PC. That agrees with my (highly anecdotal and poorly controlled) empirical evidence. (And, if more guys would apply your last sentence to relationship decisions... yeah.) So one consequence, then, would be that SINGLE-stimulant supplements are, theoretically, better in the long run...

    Noodle-less / Lower carb Lasagna. Oh yeah.

    So yeah, if you like making lasagna but don't want noodles, here's the secret. * Make the "red" part of the lasagna the usual way. I like to brown some meat, then cook down 2 lbs of spinach and mushrooms, and then throw in a jar of tomato puree, but you can pretty much do whatever. * Use...

    ADRENAL EXHAUSTION?

    Powercage, On the topic of caffeine tolerance, what's your experience with "cycling" stimulants? I.e., once the relevant adenosine receptors are upregulated (= you've achieved "caffeine dependency"), how much correlation will there be with tolerance for other stimulants, such as ephedrine...

    Amount of carbs

    And, what I'm saying isn't entirely the same as the LG dogma. I think LG is an excellent starting point, especially for people who don't otherwise know much about human nutrition and/or are newbs in general, but my (and my friends' and clients') experience differs from it on two levels: 1/ An...

    Amount of carbs

    Lol, I cut and pasted 90% of that from an email I wrote to someone last week. Laziness ftw.

    Advice on retaining muscle after a car accident...

    First, may God bless your recovery, whatever version of Him you may believe in. Well, you probably have some time on your hands. So google the relationship between ketogenic (=nearly zero-carb) diets and recovery from spinal-cord injuries. The basic deal is that, if you've suffered any neural...

    LeanGains - Extreme Difference in Cals on Build/Burn Days

    Well, even though LG is designed to provide "L" and "G" simultaneously, you can't really do both simultaneously; that's like trying to push and pull at the same time. So, you have to decide which is the higher priority. If you are going primarily for the "L"—trying to lean out, but spare...

    Amount of carbs

    There's no information here about the TIMING of your food. Or of anything, for that matter.There's only so far you're going to get with macros alone. Try the following: * Fast for 16-20 hours per day, and eat all your food in the remaining 4-8 hour window. * Skip breakfast. No one should...

    Sorry double post, the line breaks were weirdly f*cked on this one. See below.

    Informative threads for nutritional needs

    Of note, I made this thread today. It's about the macros for cooked+drained ground beef, which is something that lots of threads on here have mused about, but without actual numbers.I can't post a link (don't have enough posts yet). But the url ends with...

    Cooked ground beef macros

    Hey all. So last month I was getting ready to throw together some dishes with ground beef in them, and musing out loud about "hmm, I wonder how much fat is still there after I brown and drain it". My daughter, who had a science fair project due about 12 hours later and hadn't started it...

    Article: Maximizing Fat Loss For Competing

    This article would benefit from some specifics. E.g., --> Well okay. But how long? how intense? Is that... 3 times a week of walking up a hill for 10-15 minutes? Or 3 times a week of running for 45 minutes? Or... ? --> Again, how long? How intense? This advice is not helpful unless it's...

    Article: Working Your Mind Muscle Connection

    I think the author is overstating his case, obviously on purpose. ("WRONG" -- we're clearly writing for effect here.) That notwithstanding, there's definitely a "there" there. This mind-muscle stuff is some powerful ish, especially (a) at the end of failure sets, (b) to protect joints, (c)...

    Having a problem with women. help!

    So, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you aren't too sprung on any one of these girls. If one of them is the "primary", then ignore.If you are in your early twenties (or younger), then "ending badly" probably won't get any worse than a bunch of hysterics or maybe, at the very worst...
